Electracash Emails Seized

The US Department of Justice has already proven that it is willing to employ some pretty strong tactics for the enforcement of the UIGEA and more specifically, the ban on payment processing between offshore online casinos and US internet gamblers. Over the past six months the US authorities have consistently begun to seize any bank accounts rumored to fund internet gambling sites. Electracash is one of the internet payment processing companies that alleged processed gambling transactions for the online casino gambling industry. Proving the link between the payment processing companies and the gambling sites has proven difficult, however, and the US officials are now beginning to seize email records from the companies in question.

A Federal Inquiry into Electracash now requires the payment processing company to surrender all company emails. The US officials will then search through the emails for any conclusive evidence to prove that Electracash was illegally processing transactions for the online casinos. Like the past seizure warrants issued by US officials, the warrants are sealed and there is little additional information about the email seizures until a judge lifted the seal on the warrant.

The US has seized millions in alleged online casino account funds and seems content to take the money and keep it rather than formally charge and prosecute those involved in the payment processing companies. Although the founders of Electracash have not yet been formally brought into court (they have money laundering charges brought against them) the seizure of the company emails could be a step in that eventual direction.
